The government is made up of men. They don’t care if a TIF is entering their bathroom because they pose no threat to them. The relatively few women in government are either accompanied by bodyguards everywhere anyway, so it’s no concern to them, or, if they’re self-hating Republicans, too interested in banning abortion and forbidding gay couples to adopt children than to really give a shit if men in dresses are entering women’s restrooms. If they’re allowed in women’s prisons, Republican women don’t care - all prisoners gave up any and all of their human rights and dignities the moment they allegedly committed their crimes, women included.

Actually, some Republican women in Congress have stood up for women on these issues. I'm thinking of Debbie Lasko of Arizona, but I know there are others.

There are Republican men in Congress and in state legislatures who have also stood up for women on these issues, even putting forward legislation that would protect women and women's sports.

Whereas every single Democrat in the US Congress supports the Equality Act, which takes a sledgehammer to women's rights, safety and privacy and sports.

And, AFAIK, Republicans in the California state legislator are the only ones standing up for women on these issues. The GOP man who represents Irvine, I can't remember his name, has stood up against the Democratic-backed bill that would allow men to self-identify and be housed in women's prisons, as have other Republicans. I can't think of one Democrat (but I could be wrong) who is supporting women on these issues.

The government is made up of men.

Largely true, but some of the most rabidly vocal supporters of men in women's spaces are other women. In my own small sample size, I have yet to find a male friend or acquaintance who is cool with this, but I've lost two formerly close female friends over it. Women will stab other women in the back on behalf of men. I had a friend gushing to me about Elizabeth Warren -- the woman comes out and states her pronouns. I do not trust most women on this, sadly.

In Wokeville, there are many males who are fine with the destruction of women's spaces and sports. The Misogyny of the Left. It's been there from when I can remember. Not that the Right is not misogynist too, it's just that Lefty bros pride themselves on their feminism.

But, like you, I have encountered a particularly vicious hostility towards "TERFs" from young, well-educated women, especially in politicians' offices. The irony is I'm almost positive these TWAW-spouters consider themselves feminists.
